It has been brought to my attention that my posts have been a bit monochromatic. We here at Manly Monday/Fur Friday of course strive to bring you the full United Colors of Benneton ad experience less the women and savage depilatory regimen of the ’90s/’00s.
This brings us to today’s Fur Friday choice. Another site I frequent usually has a roundup of attractive fellows on the Instagrams at the bottom of their daily links and a photo of these two fellows caught my attention for both their scruffiness and their interesting use of fur in winter apparel.

What I didn’t realize until I clicked through their respective instagrams is that they are married (and an adorable one at that). Who are promoting wholesome family values. I’ll let Midnighter express how I feel about these pics in panels three and four.
Before last weekend, Cheryl Wassus had no idea what a “furry” was. So naturally, when the Motor City Furry Convention chose Pets for Vets (a nonprofit that pairs dogs with military veterans) as its charity of choice, she assumed that she and Link, her one-year-old Bernese mountain dog, would be spending the day at an animal event. She wasn’t wrong, necessarily — it’s just that the animals were maybe slightly more anthropomorphized than she had envisioned.
Seriously though click through and read the whole interview, it’s charming as all get out. Also the Dog’s name is “Link” and there’s a Legend of Zelda shield in there.
Because internet there are entire blogs dedicated to husky/corgi mixes, and lists of the most adorable corgi mixes. In closing here is a picture of Ein because a bunch of you are inveterate nerds.
In a world run by animals, It’ll take more than a man to survive.
Florida Man accidentally set me on a disastrous quest last night, dear reader; a disastrous quest to find a furry spoof of Mad Max Fury Road. The disaster came about because he misremembered the title and set me looking on Amazon and Google for “Furry Road” and have since had to raze my internet identity to the ground and start fresh as Ásbjӧrn Bernhard of Oshkosh, WI. I have also learned important lessons about using the term furry in GIS with safe search disabled.
After letting me twist in the wind for a bit, FM found the correct name for the movie Furry Fury and let me know it was only six minutes long. Back to Amazon, more searching for furry-related content, and I’m settling in for six minutes of the worst cinema I’ve seen in a long time… possibly since I saw Battlefield Earth in theaters, which has a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes. That said, at only six minutes, I didn’t come away feeling cheated for time, though certainly this movie lacked the muzzled post-apocalyptic Tom Hardy which made Fury Road watchable. We live in an era where even fan films can have a significant amount of polish; Furry Fury feels like an intentional nostalgia trip to low-budget ’80s movies. Every element of it is poorly executed and somehow that works as an homage to the B-movies of yesteryear. I’m sure Gojira would love this film were he not so triggered by furries (and homemade ice cream, but that’s a tale for another time).
The plot is elegant: Wolf encounters the feline Furryosa in some post-apocalyptic ruins while she is running away from a gang comprised of Bear, Dog, and Kangareau (with puppet joey) and must battle to save her. The action is delightfully gory in classic B-movie style, and the cuts and edits are painfully obvious. There is no yiffing and the film is entirely safe for work (although if your coworkers catch you watching a movie with entirely furry actors they may judge you).
